Talk:Steering wheel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Besides its use in steering, the steering wheel is the usual location for a button to beep the car's horn. In addition, many modern automobiles have cruise control and even radio controls built into the steering wheel to minimize the extent to which the driver must take his hands off the wheel. The airbag to protect the driver in event of a frontal collision is mounted inside the steering wheel."

I've come up with another one, steering wheel grip sensors. These check that the driver is gripping the wheel correctly. If the driver takes both hands off, an alarm sounds (the centre high mounted brake light flashes to warn other drivers) and if no response is given, full emergancy braking is applied. If the driver takes one hand off, the system checks that the driver initiates a command which requires this, if this doesn't happen, an alarm sounds, and the aforementioned brake light flashes, and the emergancy braking is applied as above.203.214.75.127
